“Had the pleasure of choosing Tara Inn for lunch today, every establishment can learn a lesson from the customer service that my friend and I experienced. Upon walking in we were greeted by Peter, Tara’s husband and son-in-law of the founder who named the bar for his daughter 47 years ago. We told him it was our first visit and he offered us seats and welcomed us. The regulars at the bar guided us through the menu and we each had a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles for $1 per burger expecting very small burgers we were surprised to find them standard sized and deliciously prepared to medium. My friend had the fried shrimp and I had a $13 steamed lobster! Excellent! They offer daily specials and one of the gentleman at the bar told me their steaks are very good. Every staff person went out of their way to make us feel at home. A charismatic women came out from the back and introduced herself as Tara she thanked us for choosing to lunch there. Why can’t other places realize the importance of making a first time patron feel welcome. I
Had a great afternoon enjoying the excellent variety of beers that they provide on tap. The charming decor has probably changed little since the ‘70s and that adds to the vibe. If you want to go to the friendliest bar on Long Island, head over to Tara Inn.“

“Round 2 is the best bar in the area! Just great vibes, great people and cold drinks what more can you ask for.“

“As a musician who has played so many bars all over NY state I must say the environment at Tailgsters is so incredibly special. First, they treat the bands with love and respect. It should be the norm but sadly it’s not always the case. They go above and beyond. From the ownership to every single enologee that works there, it’s impossible not to absolutely love every person associated with this bar. The crowd is great and super friendly and safe and I genuinely look forward to playing there again. They treat their customers, staff; and performers like family. Really like family. I am so grateful that we’ve played there twice and I’m already looking to playing there again. Michelle behind the bar is a genuinely great person and makes awesome drinks, but every single person there is so approachable and engaging. I can recommend Tailgsters as a genuinely fun environment that treats everyone like family. I look forward to just visiting when I’m not playing. Impressed is a huge understatement. Thank you so much for treating our band the way you did. Truly an Awsome night and the staff and crowd at Tailgatets made our night extra special. Thank you for being genuine and amazing people. They’re doing it right!!! Beyond grateful for an awesome night!!! Thank you!!!!“

“Lost for words.Welconed from the moment I walked in and opened my mouth.Being from Liverpool UK. The conversation went from music to history and everything in-between. Th customers here are far from beyond exceptional.Bobby fhe maintenance, bouncer, plumber, bar attended helper. The guy with a heart of stone. He knows a bot about everything and a gem in a pub for visitors. Thana you.Mario is another gem, bit of a wild card, not a cig, and he will make you laugh all night. He's a loud character and so nice to know.This is a great pub.LCF game“

“Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Port Jefferson. And glad we did. Got here early enough that we could get a table right away. Steve took great care of us without being overbearing. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which were so freaking good. For main course my husband got the Chicken & Sausage Scarpiello, and I had the Veal Scallopini - both were delicious. We finished off sharing the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake. This exceeded my expectations. Everything was so good that my husband wants to go back tomorrow!“

“Amazing food, my compliments to the chefs for such amazing Caribbean Flavors. The variety of succulent sauces and ambiance was for family oriented audiences. This is a keeper, Puerto Rican flavors in the house. The service was excellent. Thank you very much for making my family feel home.👏👍🥰“

“Great food and drinks in a hip atmosphere. Great bartenders.“

“Honestly one of the best places to grab a bite or a drink in St James.

The staff at Del Fuego are really what set it apart. Bartenders like Jess or Kameryn make all the difference. They’re kind, attentive, quick to handle your order, and always around if you need a hand. And although I only named 2 staff members here, the majority of people you’ll encounter here are top notch.

In addition to great staff, you also have quality food. What’s not to like!?!?“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“
